again grew sultry. To-day the heat was
still great, though the wind was from the
northwest and occasional flaws from that
quarter, mitigated to n slight extent the
torridity of the atmosphere. There was q

Quoted by DR.. NJ. A. Newell, principal OF
the Maryland State Normal School, at Bait
imore. His assistants will be Prof. T. NJ.
Taylor. of the Miller Manual Labor School,
and Miss Lizzie J. Lewis, graduate of the
State Normal School, of Pennsylvania. AT
the white normal institutes the teachers are
taught in academic studies as far as it may
be necessary to meet the needs of the teach
ers. The great point, however, which the
instructors hope to inculcate is the art Of
teaching how to bestimpart the knowledge
the teacher possesses to the unhedged mind
and teach the young idea how to shoot.
Teachers attending these summer normals
are expected to take with them such text
hooks and stationery as may be needed.
They will have the advantage of reduced
railroad rates. Ample and pleasant accom-
modations will be provided for all teachers
attending st reasonable rates.

No CHALLENGE.-Th has been consid.
cradle rumor of the passage of q challenge
from the Virginia Boat Club crew to the Old
Dominion crew of Alexandria. No such
challenge has been sent from here, and there
is no immediate probability of one. The
statement that the Old Dominions have
challenged the Virsinias is alike erroneous.
There is some unofficial talk ofa race be-
tween these crews at Maiden's Adventure
some time in August, but nothing has been
agreed upon Richmond Dispatch.
Those who saw the race throughout be-
tween the clubs, know how fairly and badly
the Richmonds were beaten and don't think
it probable that they will soon challenge
The Aexandrians, but in case they do, as q
pointer it is safe to bet dollars to buttons
that the Alexandria crew will again beat the
Richmonds
